A 53.8 g sample of brass is put into a calorimeter (see sketch at right) that contains 100.0 g of water. The brass sample starts ff at 98.2 °C and the temperature of the water starts off at 24.0 °C. When the temperature of the water stops changing it's 27.9 °C. The pressure remains constant at 1 atm. Calculate the specific heat capacity of brass according to this experiment. Be sure your answer is rounded to the correct number of significant digits. g °C B
